Solitude
Intense and perplexed, my struggles i face,
in pain, but amazed to learn patience' pace.
How lonely they seem- those days of suspense,
nights pass in a dream of met needs and requests.
Dawn comes in and brings reality's signs-
an old song to sing, with new hope for light.
God, help me to see Thy purpose of trial,
and let me know Thee to make self-denial.
In solitude, time spreads gently its net
to teach a frail mind of healthy restraint.
God's plan is for good, His will i desire,
and long for His truth through the refiner's fire.
